Origin and history

The church of Saint-Denis de Lavilleneuve is a religious building built between the 16th and 18th centuries, located in the municipality of Lavilleneuve, in Haute-Marne (Great East region). This monument, whose location is considered satisfactory a priori (note 6/10), is listed in the Mérimée base under the code Insee 52277, attached to the borough of Chaumont. Its approximate address, 2 Rue de Noyers, corresponds to the GPS coordinates recorded, although geographical accuracy remains perfectable according to available sources.

The church was registered under the Historical Monuments by order of 10 October 1927, protecting the entire building. Owned by the municipality of Lavilleneuve, it is mentioned in the databases as a place potentially open to the visit, although the practical arrangements (room rental, guest rooms) are not specified. Associated visual sources, such as Creative Commons licensed photographs, include the C DIMEY contributor, illustrating its architecture characteristic of modern and classical eras.

The Champagne-Ardenne region (now Grand Est), where Lavilleneuve is located, was at this time marked by a rural and artisanal economy, with parish churches playing a central role in community life. These buildings served not only as places of worship, but also as social and cultural landmarks for villages. The inscription of 1927 reflects the late patrimonial interest in these buildings, often modified over the centuries, as evidenced by the three-century construction periods (XVIth–XVIIIth).
